HELPFUL TIPS
- Genetics, age, sex, altitude, physical activity, stress, muscular development, certain medications, or even time of day can influence blood pressure.
- Avoid continuous readings – Wait for a minimum of 1 to 15 minutes between readings to allow blood flow in the arm to return to normal. At least 15 minutes between blood pressure measurements are ideal.
- Home blood pressure measurement may vary as much as 10-20 points from ones taken at your doctor’s office.
- For More Consistent Readings, place the cuff on the same wrist for best results.
